[Bug 680834] Re: Update Manager does not clear cache

[Robert Roth]

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 674346 ***

The reason for this is that update manager has switched it's backend to aptdaemon (previously it was synaptic) and aptdaemon can't be configured to delete the downloaded deb files after installing/updating them (synaptic has an option to do this in it's preferences, and that option did work for update-manager too).
Based on this, the problem is that there's currently no option to configure aptdaemon-based tools (software-center, update-manager, etc) to delete the packages after they have been installed, thus this is a duplicate of ticket #680834, and I am marking it as such.

Title:
  Update Manager does not clear cache

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Xubuntu 10.10 + Nautilus + Gedit

  As the Update Manager no longer clears /var/cache/apt as it did with
  previous [X]Ubuntu releases I have to run "apt-get clean" before
  making a backup.
